Where does Tim Tawa fit into the roster picture after his first month in the big leagues?

Introduction

There’s always a certain amount of excitement and hype around a prospect’s MLB debut. It’s an undeniably exciting moment for the player and it’s often accompanied by genuinely heartfelt videos from the team’s public relations department of the player receiving the news along with in-game interviews of their family. I’ll admit that I’m a...

Series Preview #13: Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers

For the first time this season, the Diamondbacks will face an NL West rival

The Diamondbacks are struggling right now. I hope that isn’t too controversial of a statement. They’ve lost five of their last six series, and it’s taken everything in their power to stay above .500 during that time. They’ve gone from being in a tight race for the NL West, to already being six games behind the Dodgers and out of a Wild Card spot. I don’t want anyone...

Kelly finds potential fix to cramping issues in longest start of ‘25

“I tried not to shut down,” Kelly said. “Tried not to cool off too much. I felt like I was maybe trying to down-regulate a little too much between innings and then expecting the nervous system to go out and fire.” Kelly said his between-innings routine was nothing particularly rigorous, not like “I was doing...

Mets 7, D-Backs 1: Punchless Rubber Loss

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images

TL;DR: An ineffective offense failed to capitalize on opportunities, the bullpen imploded again as the rubber match went awry.

I recently heard the term “swing game” from another baseball broadcast when referring to a game that could be a hinge point for a team’s season. The broadcaster intended it to mean a game where a win could provide some much-needed momentum while a loss could blunt it instead. I think that’s an apropos way to describe today’s game...

The Resurrection of Shelby Miller

From one of the most despised pitchers in team history, to the potential bullpen savior. Didn’t see that coming.

Before this season, the mere mention of the name “Shelby Miller” would likely be enough to start any D-backs fan frothing at the mouth. For he was involved in what is arguably the worst trade in franchise history (it was voted as such in a 2016 poll here), and Exhibit A in the case for “Dave Stewart is the suckiest GM ever”. The news...

A Great Night at Chase: Dbacks 5, Mets 1

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images

Tonight I had the real pleasure of bringing my 3 month old son to Chase Field for his first ever baseball game, and what a great night all around it was! Especially considering the way this team played the past week or 2, tonight felt like all was right once again in the world. Tonight felt like the Dbacks baseball we were hoping to see a lot of in 2025.

Zac Gallen looked like a staff anchoring ace. Gallen went 7 very strong innings of 2 hit ball allowing just 1 ER...

Recap: Phenomenal pitching helps the D-Backs get past the Mets on Tuesday

The D-Backs punched back on Tuesday night, just like they did in the series last week against the New York Mets, though this time by a score of 5-1. Zac Gallen had another masterclass against the Mets, as he followed up his spectacular start in New York against this very same ball club with another gem tonight at Chase Field.

After 32 Games.

Inspiration.

The Diamondbacks’ runs scored per game fell from last season. Although 5.09 is ranked #6 (high), why was it less than last season’s 5.47 runs scored per game?

Recently, Ketel Marte returned from the Il. Was his absence felt? This article showed an early view. Now we can see more in-depth insights.

Down four runs, the Diamondbacks came alive with three runs on three walks and singles from Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez. Suarez’s single traveled 412 feet and hit the center field wall on the fly, driving in two. But it wasn’t quite enough, as the Mets held on...
